Postal Regulatory Commission Chairman Ruth Goldway Defends Her 'Big' Travel Bills

Despite the fact that the U.S. Postal Service lost almost $5 billion in fiscal year 2013, Postal Regulatory Commission Chairman Ruth Goldway spent nearly $40,000 on travel, The Washington Free Beacon reports.

Goldway and the PRC office have consistently defended her travel, telling The Washington Post in a statement that the chairman "attends only those [conferences and meetings] that are beneficial to the Commission and the Postal Service in terms of sharing information about activities in the U.S."
